H.  W.  JOHNS’  LIQUID  PAINTS. 


These  are  in  every  respect  strictly  first-class  Paints,  composed  of  pure  linseed 
oil  and  the  highest  grade  of  pigments.  They  are  combined  by  processes  exclu- 
sively our  own,  and  are  unequaled  by  any  in  richness  and  permanency  of  color.  Aa 
the«e  Paints  contain  no  deleterious  or  useless  adulteration,  the  great  difference  in 
their  covering  properties  in  comparison  with  ordinary  paint  is  at  once  recognized, 
and  the  universal  testimony  is  that  from  fifteen  to  twenty-five  per  cent,  of  the  usual 
cost  of  iiainting  can  be  saved  by  their  use. 

They  are  prepared  ready  for  the  brush,  in  fifty-two  newest  shades  and  standard 
colors,  and  we  offer  them  as  the  mo.st  durable  and  economical  paints  ever 
PRODUCED  FOR  GENERAL  .STRUCTURAL  PURPOSES.  One  gallon  Will  cover  from  260 
to  275  square  feet,  two  coats. 

£^'For  a full  description  of  these  Paints  see  our  Pamphlet  “Structural  Decoration,’' 
with  samples  of  54  Shades,  which  will  be  sent  free  by  mail.

H.  W.  JOHNS’  ROOF,  CAR  &.  BRIDGE  PAINTS. 

ASBESTOS 

These  Paints  are  prepared  ready  for  use,  and  possess  a more  elastic  body 
than  any  other;  they  are,  therefore,  less  lialilgt  to  injury,  and  have  proven  to  he 
the  best  and  most  economical  Paints  ever  produced  for  similar  purposes.  They 
were  originally  designed  for  preserving  tin  and  other  roofs,  but  are  now  also 
used  for  Railroad  Buildings,  Bridges,  Freight  Cars,  Steamboat  Decks,  Boats,  and 
all  wood  and  iron  work  exposed  to  salt  or  fresh  water.  They  are  also  especially 
adapted  for  Out-buildings,  Fences,  Gas  Holders,  and  other  iron  and  rough  wood- 
work. One  gallon  will  cover  from  350  to  40#  square  feet,  one  coat.

H.  W.  JOHNS’  MARINE  PAINTS. 

This  improved  composition  is  the  result  of  more  than  twenty  years’ experiment 
and  the  severest  tests,  and  is  offered  as  the  most  durable  ship  paint  ever  produced. 
It  combines  in  one  material  all  the  desirable  qualities  claimed  by  other  composi- 
tions which  require  two  or  three  kinds  of  Coatings,  i.  e.,  it  is  a perfect  water  re- 
pellant,  anti-corrosive  and  anti-fouling,  and  is  equally  well  adapted  for  iron  or 
wood  work  exposed  to  salt  water,  in  all  climates.  It  is  prepared  ready  for  use. 

^^W'Where  it  is  important  that  a ship  should  be  painted  in  one  day,  we  supply 
this  Paint  Extra  Thin  and  Extra  Heavy,  for  two  coats,  to  dry  in  one  tide.

CAI  ■TI'^N. 


As  is  not  unusual  with  an  article  of  merit,  the  enviable  reputation  of  H.  W. 
Johns’  Asbestos  Materials  has  tempted  imitators  to  use  the  name  “As- 
bestos,”  which  we  have  made  so  widely  known  in  connection  with  our  Paints  and 
other  Materials ; and  we  find  it  necessary  to  caution  purchasers  against  misrep- 
resentations, and  advise  them  to  see  that  the  name  “ H.  W.  Johns,”  with  our 


> trade  mark,  is  on  every  package.
